Baja 1000 Hints

Unlock every vehicle.

Vehicles are unlocked by a number of different objectives, to view what you need to do to unlock certain vehicles just select an event in career and you'll be brought to the vehicle select screen. You can select any of the locked vehicles and the description of how to unlock it will be shown.

Completing career should unlock every vehicle except the Tardan Senior Trophy Truck, for which you need to gain 100 opponent knock-offs. To be able to get opponent knock-offs quickly you can go to Circuit #7 once you unlock it and select the race that pits you, in a Class 1 car, against 7 riders on dirt bikes. So If you require a quick fix to gain the knock-offs that's your place. Just drive and ram as many of the dirt bike riders you can and finish the race.

Complete the career.

There are a total of 44 different events throughout the eight Circuits and four Endurance races. Now for this achievement you don't need to win every single event to complete career, you just need to get enough points to unlock the different Circuits and Endurance races, as long as you complete each one you will complete career.

The only thing is, is that you must win every event if you want to unlock the "Perfectionist" achievement.

Place 1st in every career race.

At anytime in career you can select and retry any event you wish. Most events throughout career are easily won with a regular vehicle, but always choose wisely because the locked vehicles are not always the best out of them all. You need to gain the highest points possible in an event, but that shouldn't be an issue. The only events that will pose an issue will be the "beat the lap time" races, and for those I suggest racing them once and getting what you can. Don't try to beat these events until you have at least unlocked the final Dirt Bikes, only then and while driving one should you attempt to beat the lap times. I found the Blue Lightning Dirt Bike to be the fastest vehicle in the game.

Unlock the 2nd ticket in the career:

You must gain 35 career points in Endurance Regional #1. You gain career points depending upon where you place in the races. The higher you place the more points you receive.


Unlock the 3rd ticket in the career:

You must gain 30 career points in Circuit #2.


Unlock the 4th ticket in the career:

You must gain 40 career points in Circuit #3.


Unlock the 5th ticket in the career:

You must gain 35 career points in Endurance Regional #2.


Unlock the 6th ticket in the career:

You must gain 50 career points in Circuit #5.


Unlock the 7th ticket in the career:

You must gain 45 career points in Endurance Regional #3.


Unlock the 8th ticket in the career:

You must gain 75 career points in Circuit #7.

Finish any race in the top 3 without any damage in career.

This one is tricky, and is best saved for once you get the hang of the controls and the maps. Also having a fast bike like the Blue Lightning dirt bike, which is unlocked later on in the game, will help you gain a good lead from the start, and hopefully stop the biggest pain of getting this achievement, the crash happy A.I.

Your damage is monitored in the upper right hand corner of the HUD, you are able to take lil scrapes and bumps, but if your HUD shows colour on your damage monitor then you will know you have been damaged and unable to gain the achievement.

Also, certain race types such as Head-to-Head and Endurance will not work. It must be a Circuit race.
